Fact check: History and portfolio of DeskClub Games, a Japanese game developer.

1. Summary of the results

Based on the available sources, DeskClub Games is a Japanese doujin (independent) game developer led by an individual named "Jōkai" (上顎氏) ^[1]. Their confirmed portfolio includes:

• "Kotoba Sisters and the Legend of Lysant Island" ^[2] - achieved 95% positive reviews on Steam ^[1]
• "Robot Girls Dream - Robot Battle Championship" - a robot-themed simulation game planned for 2024 release on Steam, featuring multiple endings and robot battles in a city called "Astromea" ^[1]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

The original query would benefit from understanding the broader context of Japanese indie game development:

• The Japanese indie game scene has its own unique challenges and developments ^[3]
• There's a distinct "doujin games" culture in Japan, which is different from Western indie development ^[3]
• The preservation of Japanese game development history has been a significant concern, with dedicated projects working to document developer stories and experiences ^[4]
• The industry includes many obscure studios and unreleased titles that form part of Japan's rich gaming history ^[5]

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement

Several important considerations should be noted:

• The request for a "history and portfolio" suggests a comprehensive overview, but available sources only confirm information from recent years (2021 onwards) ^[1]
• While DeskClub Games is presented as a "Japanese game developer," it's more specifically a doujin game circle, which has different implications for its scale and operations ^[1]
• The broader context of women's roles in the Japanese game industry ^[5] and the challenges faced by indie developers ^[3] might be relevant to understanding DeskClub Games' position in the market, but current sources don't provide this specific connection
• The success metric (95% positive reviews) is provided without context of total review count or market performance ^[1]
